This will be my last post before I go to the bush. We will be leaving in the morning and will be there for ten days. While there I will not have internet connetion. We will be back in Niamey on the 17th thru 19th. Please keep me and the mission team here in your prayers.
My Prayer Requests are:
1. Dani: She will be my partner. She is from Louisiana, has a big heart for the Lord and has so much JOY! She has kept us all (my whole team) in good spirits since arriving here in Africa. Pray for our friendship- that we will grow closer and deeper this summer as we serve our Lord here together in Africa.
2. Penny: A college student from the states who has been here for 4 months. She has been here for 4 months. She has chosen to stay longer and will now will be the mother of 4 orphan children for who knows how long. Pray for her strength and guidance of these children and that they may see Christ shine through her loving heart.
3. Brandy and Kanesa: The journeymen women who have been serving here for almost 4 years. They are our "supervisors" and have prepared us well, I do believe, for our time in the bush. Pray for their continual wisdom and leadership.
4. For my strength-physically and spiritually. As I had to find a "new strength" in my arms the first few weeks I was on crutches, I pray now for God to physically provide strength for me to eat, deal with the extreme heat, and simply stay in good health. And spiritually that I stay grounded in the truth and let God receive the glory for all I do.
5. Adaptation to life in the African bush country
"For those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not grow faint." Isaiah 40:31

You and Dani as well as the rest ot the team are in my thoughts and prayers continously. It was great to hear your voice today, I look forward to our next contact with you. God is with you
ReplyDeleteHey sweetie...thinking of you and praying God's love, guidance and care! And may He be Glorified in ALL that's said and done! Thinking of you, your friends and of course your family...missing you ever so much! Can't wait to see you and hear of your journey. Until.....Prov 3:5-6
ReplyDeleteHey sweetheart
ReplyDeleteYour phone call was a great surprise today even if it was 4:00am. You sounded so happy and full of energy. I am glad you got a little break from the bush. Many people at church have ask about you regularly and wanted to be sure you know they are praying for you and the mission team. You and Dani seem to make a great team glorifying God. Just try to keep the cows out of your hut, the neighbors out of your food and the mosquitoes out of your net! I love you and look forward to our next phone call. You are my pryers daily
I am praying for all of you guys in Niger so much! :) Penny is actually calling me tomorrow morning, I'm excited!! I don't know if they've told you what's going on, but I'll send you an email after I talk to her tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI know that God is already using you in amazing ways in your village, and I will be praying that you and Dani will form a great relationship, similar to the ones you have with some of your friends in Serbia.
That is so cool that I just commented on one of your earlier posts with Isaiah 40, and then see that God has used it with you too! So cool!!! :)
